The You Matter Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to changing lives, donating time to causes such as supporting domestic violence survivors, and advancing humanity through various nonprofit initiatives. My mission is to better society and humanity by providing education and training in trauma-informed care, peer support, collaboration, and empowerment to all individuals including children, individuals, families, aging adults, and people with disabilities in need of services. At the core of our organization is the belief that everyone matters, regardless of their circumstances.
I’m Susie Delo, the founder of the You Matter Foundation–a trauma-informed and peer coaching organization that also focuses on situational awareness and self-defense. I left my career of 20 years as Agency Manager for the T L Robertson Insurance Agency to pursue my purpose and mission from God to help others thrive.
I am honored to share my journey with you today, as it is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative nature of entrepreneurship. My story is one of overcoming adversity and finding purpose in the pain. I firmly believe that God took the mess of my life and turned it into a message for others.

Growing up, I faced numerous challenges and hardships. However, these experiences ignited a fire within me to make a positive impact on the lives of others. I realized that there was a significant need for Mental Wellness (Fitness) for trauma-informed support and coaching, as well as empowering individuals with situational awareness and self-defense skills.

Through my journey, I have discovered the power of collaboration, mentorship, and creating a supportive network with others. Among many others, I have formed a valuable partnership with the Founder of Underground Moves, a specialized employee assistance program for survivors of domestic violence. Women’s Services: Human Trafficking Task Force.
It is through our struggles that we find the strength to rise above and make a difference. By sharing my story and providing trauma-informed coaching, I aim to inspire others to embrace their own journeys and find their purpose by encouraging them to share their stories.
You Matter has had a significant impact on the economy by providing valuable services. I am proud to contribute to the growth and development of our local community and others. By coming together and supporting one another, we can overcome these challenges and build a stronger, more vibrant economy.

Let's us know you are coming. Demos with pepper spray and stun guns 😁I was very apprehensive about the first self defense class I took. I didn't think I'd be strong enough, have enough endurance, that I'd fail miserably in front of everyone!
Instead - I found I was stronger than I realized, I can fight harder than I thought I could. And what I didn't expect was to feel so empowered. As a petite female it was such a confidence boost knowing I do have the ability to fight back..
Come & join us for this fun & empowering class where you can vent the stress of the day & learn some new skills! 🥊
